EArth's Prayer

Sing along with the trees,
Embrace the power they spread,
The embrace they give,
The air they take under their breath.
Sing a song that no one else has,
Capture leaves in your fingertips
And snow on your face.
Watch the rain as it melts down this world
That we’ve created, then killed.
See the fog on the horizon and pray for peace,
For life and for love.

See the leaves over head, the footprints underneath,
And the warm breeze that never used to be there.
Watch as more and more come,
And less and less leave,
As the morning turns to night,
And the earth changes underneath us.

Sing for all of us,
Pray for light in the darkness we’ve created.
Keep life amongst the holy things,
Keep it locked and sacred, keep it real.

Sing along with the trees today,
Embrace them as our own,
Keep the rain clean, the oceans alive,
The fog from clearing. Sing along
With the wind, for it’s always been here,
In the prayers of the earth underneath us.
